2016 Ford Focus 1.0L Petrol · WV16 ACO

This vehicle is in an exceptional state of roadworthiness with a perfectly stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 30 March 2026 at 52,432 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive years of clean passes, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage is notably low for a ten year old car, averaging roughly 5,243 miles per year. The accumulation of distance is steady and predictable, increasing from 37,223 miles in April 2022 to 52,432 miles by March 2026. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest the car sat dormant for years, which often leads to perished seals or seized calipers. The absence of any advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion over a four year period is rare for a vehicle of this age. While the MOT record is flawless, the low annual mileage means the car may be prone to issues caused by under-use. A buyer should verify that the engine oil and coolant have been changed according to the manufacturer's time intervals rather than just mileage. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the tyres and the battery. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from tyre cracking or flat spots even if the tread depth remains legal. Checking for any signs of surface corrosion on the underbody will confirm if the clean MOT records reflect a sheltered life or an exceptionally diligent maintenance regime.
